To all whom it may concern Be it known that .I, HENRI AMIOT, a citi- HENRI Anions, or RHEIMS, FRANCE.

SELF-PROPELLED 1L0W.

zen of the French Republic, and residing at V 50 Rue Lesage, Rheims, Marne, France, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Self-Propelled Plows, of which the following is a specification. p

This invention relates to self-propelled plows which according to the present inven-v tion are provided with a device permitting the elements of the plow to be turned over at the end of thefurrow as in the case of a double axle-tree hoop, and of effecting the reciprocating work, the strips of earthibeing always thrown on to one and the same side. With such an arrangement all parts of the ground are properly worked and no losses occur as is the case with self-propelled plows with single plowing elements; further, much time is saved by dispensing entirely: with tacking, since after one furrow has been made the next one can bestarted immediately at the side of the one previously made.

Referring to the accompanying drawings which illustrate by way of example one mode of carrying out the invention, Figure 1 isan elevation, Fig. 2 a'plan view, and'Fig. 3 a rear view of one arrangement.

1 is a frame which is made narrow at the front end and carries the motor 2 and coupling 8', the latter transmitting the movement of the motor to a reversing gear 4 through the intermediary of a conical pinion 5. The shaft 6 of the reversing gear is provided with a chain wheel 7 which transmits frame 1, is mounted at the back of the latter,

and two guide bars 14 are secured thereto. A cross bar 15 is arranged to slide in the guides 1.4 under the influence of controlling screws 16 and 16 and a pivot17 is provided in the axis of the cross bar 15, to which pivot is keyed a member 18. The member 18-slides at one of its ends in an are shaped guide 19. A worm wheel 20 engaging with a worm 21 is keyed to the other end of the pivot 17, the

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented J ulylS, 1916. Application filed July 21,1914. ser al No. 852,219. 1 i v -worm 21 beingdrivenby the chain wheels plowing elements, that when the handle 27,

which is mounted on to the other end of'the shaft 28 on to which the chain wheel 23 is keyed, is turned by hand or by means of a motor, the member 18 with'its frame 25 will be turned around the pivot 17 thereby causlng the turning over of the plowing elements. The end of the beam 25 can pivot around the ends of the cross bar 15 s'otha-t when the hand wheel 29. is operated, the cyl inder 30 willpbe rotated through the intermediary of the chain wheels 81 and 32 and worml33, and the cablej34,'the end 35 of which is connected to the beam 25, be wound around said cylinder thereby causing the beam 25 to be raised. 1

Having now described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Let ters Patent is A 1. A self-propelled plow comprising in combination a carriage frame, a cross bar attached thereto, a rotary pivot mounted on said cross bar, means forturning the pivot in both directions, a frame serving as a plow beam, double plowing elementsrmounted on said plow-beam and a bar to which the plow beam is secured and which is mounted onthe rotary. pivot, as andv for the purpose set forth. 7 Y v i 2. A self-propelled plow comprising in combination a carriage frame, a cross bar at tachedthereto, a rotary pivot mounted on said cross bar, means for turning the pivot in both directions, a frame serving as a plow-beam, double plowing elements mount- 1 ed on'said plow-beam, a bar to which the plow-beam is secured'and'which is mounted on the rotarypivot, and an are shaped guide 3.. A self-propelled plow comprising in combinationa carriage frame, a cross bar atfor guiding the bar towhichthe plow-beam I v1s secured, as and for the purpose set forth.

both directions consisting of a worm wheel arranged at the front end of the rotary.

pivot, a worm engaging with the .worm wheel, a chain and chain wheels and an operating handle, a frame serving as a plowname to this specification in the presence of beam, double plowing elements mounted on twosubsoribing Witnesses. said plow-beam and a bar to which the plow-beam is secured and which is mounted HENRI AMIOT. on the rear of the rotary pivot, as and for Witnesses: the purpose set forth.
